mircea_popescu: there should be a short story about this, 1988 soviets don'

BingoBoingo: The story doesn'

mircea_popescu: all these big deals were here at some point. at some point in my lifetime. frankly, it doesn'
t seem so much earlier than today's breakfast.
mircea_popescu: it's just... look, i guess a preoccupation with gravestones and old musty writs and whatall else is to some degree a professional deformation / professionalized mental issue. but nevertheless, consider : slashdot. fucking slashdot, yes, the people who named the site so that lamers couldn'

t know if going USD long is the most prudent decision. Jurov put in a bid for the DC wire, and I'm curious if the bidding will get more heated near the end as it did with the smaller 500 USD auctions.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "nobody does ill willingly" ? gimme a fucking break, seems the better definition for average human / subhuman (no, the two aren'
t distinct or distinguishable) readily reduces to "does nothing but ill".
mircea_popescu: about the ONE THING they can'
t fucking take, yak yak yak all over again. why, because "for everything else it goes without saying" ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 22:25 asciilifeform: ( can laugh at this hypothesis if you like, but i can'

t make sense to put delicate items acquired with much suffering like BingoBoingo's cedula immediately into the statists hopper (localbitcoins demands "an ID" to post ads), when one can pick from the sale offers and operate on the side of the transaction where id is not asked for
mircea_popescu: just as fucking long as it doesn'
t amount to a hill of beans, they're a-for it.
mircea_popescu: to escape it one'd have to realise WHAT precisely is so intrinsically wrong about being wrong ; but those who do so realise needn'
t, and those who need... well... lucifer is belabouring in hell under the (significant, btw) burden of the misapprehension of his own rightfullness.
diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: note the dissonance in your approach - if you want reputation here, you need to do stuff that is useful here (there's a long list of such stuff that needs doing, pick, start on it and document as you go/ask politely and intelligently for help when you need it); onth if you want "reputation" for landing a programming job irl, dropping links here won'

mircea_popescu: and #2, this isn'
t somewhere for you to upload your autism. nobody gives a flying fuck about a marginally functional aspie and his worldview. start doing something useful so i don'

BingoBoingo: Many hours have been spent log digging and the big take away is that while overspecing a contract to cover every contingency is bad, time doesn'

BingoBoingo: Just because it is micro doesn'

☟︎ diana_coman: there is the fiddly part with sjlj vs zcx but that in itself doesn'

diana_coman: to answer the q directly: not permanently, I'd hope! But it does seem to be rather long term since atm I have my hands full with SMG Comms on both client+server and otherwise we don'

mircea_popescu: this ~last type~ is perhaps amenable to treatment. because if you give the kid-thats-a-blur something to fix him the fuck down for five minutes he might have the breather to figure out which way the shoes go on ; and if you don'

a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:29 mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don'
t have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 18:11 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i wasn'

mircea_popescu: i'm not trying to eat your lunch here, you should be paid a fair amount ; but note you that "sin" was ongoing for as long as i didn'
